While these words might work, they also might incite and conger up resistance, anger and non-compliance as the subconscious mind could see those words as a challenge and could negate the suggestion. Our subconscious minds will only accept, in most cases, simple and positive suggestions.

My associate hypnotist, Tommy Vee, and I have found better ways to help you to accept and follow the proper suggestions. We share these with you now in hopes of improving your lifestyle in all categories.

Listed below are some of the properly and effectively worded suggestions that just might make a difference in your success ratio. Your suggestions should be in the first person as you repeat the suggestions daily to yourself. The impact of your words is enormous! Therefore, it is extremely important to use the right words and the correct tone of voice that exudes confidence and is pleasingly acceptable by your subconscious mind. This is the mind that never sleeps and works 24 hours a day every day.If you implant and release the power of CHOICE, it becomes a whole new event for you … Then, you will not feel deprived of smoking, food etc.

This will motivate you to a higher level of success and a happier life.

Take a look at these dynamic suggestions that Tommy Vee and I have developed over 45 years of experience in the clinical hypnosis field. You might be familiar with some of them but if you come away with a few great ideas, then this article was worth writing for you.

THE SUGGESTIONS BELOW ARE THE ONES THAT YOU WILL SAY OR THINK TO YOURSELF. YOU MIGHT WANT TO WRITE THEM DOWN SO THAT, WHEN YOU READ THEM OUTLOAD, YOU WILL BE USING THE SENSES OF SIGHT AND SOUND……………………IT IS VERY EFFECTIVE.

THE WORDS: “I DON’T HAVE TO” REMOVES ANY COMPULUSION AND GIVES YOU THE POWER OF CHOICE.CATEGORY

SMOKING: “I might feel like smoking, but I don’t have to”“If the thought (use the word thought instead of urge) of smoking crosses your mind, acknowledge it and then tell yourself: “ But I don’t have to.”

“I have the power of CHOICE, and I CHOOSE not to smoke!“Smoking is poison to my body and I want to live a long and healthy life!”“I respect and protect my body at all times”“When I feel good about myself, I can do anything I set me mind to”“I am getting healthier and healthier everyday”“Smoking to me is dirty, disgusting, distasteful and very dangerous” “I feel clean, calm, relaxed and confident everyday”“I believe in myself and can accomplish any goal I wish to reach”“The only thing that is important is what I do from this moment on”“I act, walk, talk, think, look and feel like a happy, healthy non-smoker!”

WEIGHT CONTROL:

“I might feel like overeating, but I don’t have to.”If the thought of overeating or eating the wrong foods crosses your mind, tell yourself:“ I don’t have to”“I have the power of CHOICE and I CHOOSE not to overeat.”“I eat healthy food and sensible portions everyday.”“Smaller portions of food actually satisfy me completely”“I am becoming thinner and lovelier, everyday” (For women)“I am becoming thinner and stronger everyday” (For men)“Food is important for health and life, but I am more important”“I decide what goes into my body and I make great decisions”“I act, walk, talk, think, look and feel like a person who is losing weight easily and enjoyably”

STRESS CONTROL:

“Nothing can bother me without my consent”“Is this problem within or beyond my control?” “I will waste no time on problems beyond my control”“I solve problems within my control and remain calm and relaxed”“I no longer sweat the small things”“I feel good about myself and nothing can bother me without my consent”“I am developing a more positive attitude everyday”“I take the focus off myself and do something nice for a loved one”“I act, walk, talk, think, look and feel calm, relaxed and confident”“All unpleasant things from the past are now UNIMPORTANT to me”“All that matters is what I think and do from this moment on”

As NGH Certified Consulting Hypnotists, our clients expect us to be professional and to know what we are doing. They trust us to take good care of them and to never violate them in any way. With that being said, let’s consider the power we have to actually, with words and/or phrases, cause a client to feel: anger, happiness, sadness, fear, elation, motivation, sensual, action (getting started), loneliness and perhaps even more. You should know that the subconscious mind is very literal and accepts and reacts to the stimulus of words, phrases, non-verbal innuendos and does not analyze. Therefore, your suggestions that get accepted into the subconscious mind, are carry with them tremendous power and can manifest all kinds of reactions.

What you say and think to yourself, and how you say it, is extremely potent. For example, I remember one of my new associates working with a client for weight-control, once actually said “You will not eat anymore,” instead of “You will not overeat anymore.” Now, it is possible that that client could have stopped eating for several days. Is that far-fetched? Not really. Remember the words of the great pioneer, Harry Arons, who said “THE ONLY THING THAT YOU CAN BE SURE OF IN HYPNOSIS, IS THAT YOU CAN’T BE SURE OF ANYTHING!” You never really know if and how a client receives and acts upon a suggestion. So, be very careful of your selection of words and phrases.

I also suggest to my clients that they read “Your Erroneous Zones” by Dr. Wayne Dyer.Actually, I buy his books and then sell them to my clients at cost. I only have them in the office as a convenience for my clients. This book will teach them how to make the past unimportant and to stay in the present time. It changes their think as you will also change their thoughts.

Our programs are based on the premise that “We become what we think about” and that we “Move towards our dominant thought.”THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST PREMISES THAT REALLY WORKS. “WHEN I FEEL GOOD ABOUT MYSELF, I CAN DO ANYTHING I SET MY MIND TO.”

YOU NEED TO SEE IT IN YOUR MIND’S EYE, BELIEVE IT IN YOUR HEART, THEN WATCH IT HAPPEN.

I hope that you will utilize some of our ideas as presented here and, hopefully, see an increase in your helping your clients become successful.
